Many thanks Royal Deluxe, I may have to do a wee bitty re-thinking then. My "TOWER OF TERROR" is currently only getting to the "Turret of Trembling" stage. Sigh... If I build out another layer so they are all inside facing, then the structural integrity goes bye, bye. I had done it the other...

Please, please, please bring back Jail doors. They were just so dang useful for collapsible defence (close door, empty mag at the nice drooling folk on your ass, fall back, rinse, repeat. and for the wish-list: Is there any chance of Iron Bars that have two sides? Perhaps call it "Iron Bars...

Many thanks for the reply FileMachete. At least I'm not mad then. Guess i'm going with the subdued lighting plan then and hope all the candles don't burn the place down (good job they don't run out eh? Oh did I just say that...) Have been trying to get a picture but the little guy (Eric T...

Hi Folks, Apologies if I'm a bit behind the curve... Loving the new game as have had to adapt. So I'm finally able to make the "fortress of doom" again and have the generators, batteries etc needed to power it all up. Where have all the lights gone? i.e. industrial, dome and tubes? Have I missed...

Pretty sure he was in the first one. I believe there have been four films now or maybe even five. Never got past the original.

Grabboids would work as a specialized desert beastie (as dogs are to the wasteland). They are allegedly a type of mutated sandworm.... and would certainly counter the ease of digging through that ever so soft sandstone.

Absolutely YES to this please.

Wasn't there talk once that the fat Hawaiian dude (we missed you, when you went away) was going to do a massive amount of damage to walls/blocks? He couldn't climb to get you but he could just smash his way through the blocks below you until gravity/physics caught up.

Wow. This must be the biggest game changer for play style since the mini-bike or sleepers came in. Note to self: Don't be underground on horde night or get a swiss cheese world by the morning (which you could possibly mine/stake/spike for next time). 2nd note to self: As well as a false...

Electricity Dear FP, when Electricity comes up for review next, would it be possible to run Solar Banks/Battery Banks in series? When I eventually find a purple battery or six, or trade away my last 20,000 coins for that purple solar panel, I'm still having brown-outs due to power drain and...

Same ole. It certainly made horde nights interesting. Yeah they were ugly but made you have to think about defence in depth, fall-back positions etc. Maybe one day the diggers will make their long awaited appearance and Zs will be dropping on our heads while we're settling down in the evening...

A "BBC B" Micro computer and a Research machines 380Z - Happy days

Dammit. Now I'm gonna have to dust them off and read them again. Been lugging those books around for 20 years without opening them again but couldn't ever get around to sending them to the thrift shop when just about everything else has gone. Also Mordant's Need, his follow up, which I still...

Finger in the air to test the breeze. I reckon about mid May as that's when I'll be on Hols in the Scottish Highlands with no PC and likely no regular cell reception again although sometimes that's also a blessing. Weihnachten steht vor der Tur - won't be till way after then anyways.

Generator/Battery/Solar panel question please. Question please. Just got around to placing a second generator on a 4x4x4 column on the outside perimeter of my topside base to power 2x shotgun turrets facing down two axis of said perimeter. I go back on to the roof of my bunker and there is no...
